PmWiki has several (somewhat experimental) caching features, which may be able to help out some. You can set up page caching by setting: $PageCacheDir = 'work.d'; $EnableHTMLCache = 1; This caches the main contents of each page, so that PmWiki doesn't have to reconvert the markup to HTML o

Use something like http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/ to calculate the size of the page. Slashdot can generate thousands and thousands of hits. So say you have a 10K total web page size including images. 10,240 * 100,000 (just a guess) = 1,024,000,000 so that is about 1GB o
